High Florida Tribunal to Hear Case Friday.
By United Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Jan. 4— A Florida Supreme Court order today assured Mrs. Irene Armstrong, - grandmother Mayor, and her beleagured Administration control over Dayton Beach's government at least until Friday.
The Supreme Court in Tallahassee set 10 a. m. Friday for hearing on a petition for a writ of supersedeas which would overthrow a lower court injunction preventing appointees of Governor Dave Sholtz from succeeding the Armstrong Administration. The Sholtz appointees, however, succeeded in tying up all city funds, approximately $100,000, in Daytona’s two banks—the Florida Bank and the First Atlantic National.

HOLLAND OBJECTS TO NAZI ATTITUDE
By United Press THE HAGUE, Jan. 4. — The Netherlands sent a note to Germany today deprecating the German at-
Princess Juliana and Prince Bernhard Zu Lippe-Biesterfeld of Germany. There has been a campa'gn of resentment in the German press because the Nazi anthem has not been played nor the swastika displayed during the prewedding ceremonies. Instead, Netherlanders have felt that the colors and anthems of the

REOPENING OF RATE
HEARING SCHEDULED
P. S. C. to Resume Case Tomorrow After Recess.
The Public Service Commission’s hearing on the Indianapolis Power & Light Co. rate case-is to be resumed tomorrow morning after a holiday recess. Sessions have brought evidence on physical property valuation and some testimony on intangible values before the Commission. While City, State and utility representatives have continued meeting informally in efforts to reach an agreement for rate reductions, an appropriation is being sought from the City Council to continue services of James E. Deery, former City Corporation Counsel, who resigned several weeks ago. The session tomorrow is expected to be short, with parties asking more time before submitting further evidence. Preliminary hearing started after two years spent in compiling an agreed inventory between utility and Commission engineers. The original order to show cause why rates should not be reduced was issued more than two years ago by former Public. Counselor Sherman Minton.
‘NO 1940 CAMPAIGN,’ GOVERNOR DECLARES
James E. Perry, president of the Indianapolis McNutt-for-President-in-1940 Club, conferred with the Governor today, but there were no statements on strategy. When asked in his press conference how his campaign was getting along, Governor McNutt smiled and said: “There is no 1940 campaign.”

IS AHEAD FOR NEW CONGRESS
Legislation Designed to Bolster Economic and
Social Progress. \
(Continued from Page One)
prepared to assert itself so far as possible along the lines of *“constructive criticism” with special emphasis on the necessity for economy. But minority leaders privately were confident that the huge Democratic majorities would prove unwieldy, that there would be frequent splits and many blocs as the session wore on and that the Republican strength could be used effectively in frequent instances. In the Senate, Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas will have 76 Democrats to command in action; the greatest numerical Administration strength in history. For the first time in 20 years, a dozen Democrats will have to sit on the Republican side of the aisle in order to get into the chamber.
The Republicans have 16 Senate members; Farmer-Labor has two; Progressive one and Independent one. In the House, the victor in a contest between Rep. Sam Rayburn of Texas, and Rep. John J. O’Connor of New York, for the party leadership, will be charged with keeping, 332 Democrats in line. There will be 89 Republicans in the House, eight Progressives and five FarmerLaborites. House leaders have agreed to seat a New Hampshire Republican whose seat had been in doubt.
Thus, a top-heavy Congress will undertake the legislative program to be outlined by Presideni Roosevelt in his annual message and to be the foundation of the second New Deal Administration’s effort to achieve profound changes in the nations economic and social life. Lacking of a strong minority party may make the task more instead of’ less difficult, in the opinion of many veteran congressmen. In broad outline, the task being undertaken by Congress in 1937 includes:
RETRENCHMENT
Congressional leaders are express= ing a conviction that the Seventyfifth Congress will move toward economies designed to get the nation on the path to a balanced budget—yet few specific economy proposals have been advanced. Senator Carter Glass (D., Va.) encouraged advocates of retrenchment when he announced that he would retain the appropriations committee chairmanship, through which a dozen big money bills” funnel.
However, new government agencies, Social Security, the bonus payment sinking fund and similar developments have in the opinion of experts made it almost certain that the ordinary budget will be up rather than down. : : The hope for savings, therefore, shifted to the extraordinary budget, with relief appropriations as its chief item. That item, Congressional leaders hope, can be reduced as a result of improved economic conditions in the nation. Another and probably remoter possibility for economies lies in reorganization of government bureaus and agencies.
RELIEF APPROPRIATIONS
One of the first big controversies probably will center around the rethe six From the White House have come suggestions that the sum be held to around $500,000,000, but Capitol Hill blocs already are being formed both in an effort to increase the WPA sum to $750,000,000 and to cut it below $500,000,000. General opinion has been that pressure from home would be n.ore likely to increase than reduce the expenditure, particularly in view of protests in various states against removal of johless persons from the WPA rolls. “Congress probably will do whatever the President suggests, as they have in the past,” Chairman Glass

NEUTRALITY
Possibly the first act of Congress will be an amendment expanding the Neutrality Act of 1936 to include civil wars in an effort to keep Auerica clear of the Spanish conct. But there will be prolonged debate of the Neutrality Act, which expires next May. Chief .controversy centers around the Administration’s desire that the legislation give the President discretion to apply embargoes on shipments to belligerents, thus providing a mobile base for the State Department in dealing with a specific foreign development, Led. by Senator Gerald P. Nye (R., N. D) and Senator Bennett C. Clark (D., Mo.), and given support by Senator Arthur Vandenberg (R., Mich), a Senate bloc will make every effort to make it mandatory that the President apply the embargoes upon the outbreak
~of war abroad. Nye would embargo
every item of trade. Others, including Senator William E. Borah (R., Ida), would embargo some and make the others discretionary. With battle lines not yet clearly drawn, it appeared most likely that a strong Congressional bloc would favor a mandatory embargo on war materials and discretionary powers for the President to embargo other trade.
WAGES AND HOURS
President Roosevelt already has set Congress to-work on achieving his objectives of reasonable minimum wages and maximum hours for labor. The path. to be followed remains undecided, but there have been indications that the Administrration would prefer to avoid a constitutional amendment and may fail to back the O'Mahoney Federal Licensing Bill because it is considered too comprehensive in cov-

Most authoritative opinion as that the Administration would f ‘efer a series of measures either ::llowing the principle of the licens hg of corporations or the catalog hg of unfair practices. A constitutio al amendment probably would be al st resort.
Forthcoming Supreme Court ¢ ecisions, such as on the Wagner Lal or Act, may guide the President in iis decisions.
TAXES
Leaders of Congressional finar ie committees have emphasized thi ir belief that no new taxes will fe levied in 1937, but there may be 1: - visions of the 19368Corporation Su -
plus Tax Law. ‘They will not, a -\
cording to present prospects, be vit: revisions. Most likely amendments are: (0) To reduce or eliminate surplus tax: s on reserves accumulated for tl: purpose of building new plants, de¢ + veloping industry, repairing plant’, etc.; (2) to exempt from surplus ta: : ation reserves accumulated for th: purpose of retiring preferred stock (3) to give debt burdened corpora : tions relief from the surplus tax. ~ The question of abolishing cer tain nuisance taxes may come up with general opinion against suc! abolition.
FARM LEGISLATION
Revision of the crop conservatior and benefit payment program probably will be undertaken and proposals for crop insurance, probably starting with wheat, will be introduced. It was expected that an effort would be made to strengthen the crop program by linking it more directly to administration by the states. Congressional experts considered
the question of a Federal crop in-
surance plan extremely difficult and
expected that progress would be:
slow.
A determined effort toward start- |
ing a program to aid tenant farmers was forecast by Southern Congressmen. Leaders in the movement, including Senator John Bankhead (D., Ala.), Rep. Marvin Jones (D., Tex.), Senator Tom Connally (D., and Senator Kenneth McKellar (D., Tenn.), proposed loans at low interest rates to a limited number of worthy farmers in order that they might buy their own land. Controversy was forecast over the extent of the program and the annual appropriation required. Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace has estimated that $160,000,000 annually would be needed to prevent the problem from becoming worse than at present.
GOVERNMENTAL REORGANIZATION
Sharp differences of opinion between the Administration and a bloc of economy-bent Congressmen appeared in prospect in connection with efforts to consolidate and eliminate Federal agencies and bureaus. Senator Harry F. Byrd (D., Va.), heading a committee to investigate the prospects, declared that he was convinced that “substantial economies” could be realized, whereas the President had indicated that reorganization was more likely to result in greater efficiency than in reduction of expenses. Byrd said that he would first deal with 24 overlapping governmental lending agencies. ; Senator William H. King (D, Utah) also called for eventual elimination of many government

Officials, studying the rapidly growing breach between the German government and the loyalist government of Spain, believed that Germany within the next two or three days‘may furnish the legal peg on which President Roosevelt can hang an embargo on the shipment of arms, ammunition and implements of war to all factions in the Spanish civil war.
